Rockstar Account as a requirement?

[Tulah]

It's a singleplayer game, why on earth does it require yet another silly account to sign into for no good reason? This would be easier to understand if this was multiplayer game or if signing into Rockstar Account had other benefits, but it really doesn't in this context.

So. Most of us already own GTA or RDR2. This has been going on for over 10 years now with TONS of devs. Get over it and move on and stop crying.

Seems reasonable to express the desire for Rockstar to stop needlessly attaching these requirements someday :/ They clearly aren't crying dude, maybe stop being an aggressive spud

Are you blind, or just backing up his crying? EA, Ubisoft, Paradox Interactive and tons more have been doing this for years. Open your dumb eyes. And stop crying like him. It literately takes 2 minutes to sign up. The amount on time to post on here, he would have an account. But keep crying if it makes you feel better.

Acting like nearly half the AAA space doesnt force you to have a third party account. Just make one. Everyone has wanted RDR1 on PC for 14 years, no one cares.

The more moving parts, the higher the risk of failure. That's a pretty basic truth.

Hey, will I be able to play Black Ops 6 offline? Ah no, I need to stay verified with accounts and online checks.

Can I play RDR2 offline? Again no, there are requirements for accounts and verification.

I realize you enjoy chowing down on corporate boot, but this is important. You already have your wish, more accounts, so why don't you go jump through some more hoops for no reason since that's clearly what gets you off? Be a good lil puppy for Rockstar?

caught news this was going pc rn. then saw this account thing and immediately lost interest. moving on

Aren't you the one crying about others voicing their displeasure of this rather distasteful behaviour? How about you stop if and move on?

I know EA and Ubisoft do require it from time to time, but former doesn't always require it like with C&C bundle they released some time ago. Paradox doesn't actually require it unless you want to use their Naraka(?) service for joining games, though their launcher is fairly hard requirement and it's plenty annoying on its own. Either way it's not a great requirement and more so for a singleplayer game which does not benefit from it one bit.

You as a gamer do not benefit from this at all, quite the contrary.

Nope, I'd rather not make one. There's no good reason to have it, so it's going to be hard stop from me. I'd love to play RDR on PC, but that's only going to happen if nonsense like this disappears.

Clearly you cared enough to voice your view on it though.

More launchers and stuff = higher chance of problems.
Cause Steam is almost perfect while other launchers are neglected.
Sure they work most of the time... until they don't.
Even better if you're rarely play (like 1-2h on weekend nights or something like that) and you're welcomed with some issues.
Sorry, can't play your singleplayer game due to online whatever not being in the mood...

[ProperCharva]

who actually care if you can make an account whats the big deal?

steam servers go down pretty often lol the glazing needs to stop

[Primeval]

I hope not! I cant even play my RDR2 on pc because of that ♥♥♥♥♥

[rd77g]

worst than corporations (all of them, Sony, EA, Ubisoft, Rockstar) are the corporate bootlickers going to the forum to say "Just bend over and stop crying"

[aintnobody]

anytime i see a yellow box on the steam game page, i skip it. steam only - for life. hundreds of games, none of them require an account. that was the case last decades, and will be the case forever.

I haven't seen steam go offline to the point I couldn't play a game in years, and I play from early morning to midnight US Central...
